What is another word for whole step?
Pronunciation: [hˈə͡ʊl stˈɛp] (IPA) 
A "whole step" refers to a musical interval equivalent to two half steps or two semitones, which is equivalent to two frets in a guitar. Synonyms for this term include "tone" or "whole tone", "major second" or "M2", "full tone", or "whole-step interval". It is a foundation of various music theories in Western classical music and is used extensively to create melodies, harmonies, and chords. Musicians use this term regularly to describe the distance between notes in a melody or harmony. Without understanding the concept of a whole step, music would be less structured and less communicative, and so it is an essential term for any music lover to know.
